I was talking with a rep from TireRack.com and he tells me you can't put wider tires on a TL.

Not sure I believe that.

Does anyone know if you can put wider tires (245, 255, 265 or 275) on a Gen3 TL?

Thanks.

 

I just put 245-40-18s on mine. No problems so far I think they look very good on the car.

 

does anyone have 245/40-18's on a 3G TL with Comptech springs?
i was just wondering if there was any rubbing. i'm going shopping for wheels this weekend.
thanks in advance!!

 

IIRC there was someone with an NBP with Eibach's and SSR wheels on 245/40/18 Goodyear rubber. I've got 245/35/19's and Comptech's and have no rubbing issues. You just need to make sure you get wheels with the correct offset. I'd +40 to +45 should be fine but I've seen as low as +38.

 

Damn, I hope so. I ordered my RPM2 18's with a +45 offset and am going with 245/40/18 and the Comptechs. They said everything should fit just fine with no rubbing. Hopefuly everything will get delivered this week and I can get the install done this weekend.

Will let you know how it goes.

You should have no problems. Be sure to post pics when you can.
